When you see how happy Harvey Levin was when he introduced Kevin you get a sense of his appreciation and "credit" he gives to KB ... and that has been something (I know personally) has been built over the past few years. I can't get into the inner workings of the "cottage industry" that is KB's business ... but I can definitely say the credit he gets is worth it's weight in gold ... to him :winkwink:

I enjoy fucking with him. Some people take a break and watch TV or browse you tube. I took a few minutes here and they to throw some shit back his way, to give his inflated ego a reality check is entertaining to me. He plays it off like he doesn't care but its entertaining to watch someone so full of themselves have their their bubble bursted.
I only photoshoped one picture btw, it took me 5 minutes. I have mad skillz, it was worth the time if for nothing else than to make myself laugh looking at it once I was done :)
Or how does giving TMZ exposure make him money? I guess if you an attention whore then this is big deal but I prefer to make money not get my name on tv (which hasn't even happened for him in this case). No one is going to pay to see that tape.

I'm with you personally on keeping a low profile but KB's $$$ is being that "sex tape guy" ... even if you don't get how it makes him $$$ - it does ... and not just a little.

What good does it do to get 'millions of eyeballs' on a story about a sex tape from 20 years ago when A. They don't even mention a company or individual and B. Even if they did, no one would buy it because nobody cares?

His appearance on TMZ Live gets HIM more exposure and that DOES get other entertainment outlets ringing his bell. It's the compounded snowball effect - Good Morning America, Howard Stern, Extra, 20/20 ... on and on. He's the defacto "sex tape guy". That leads to him getting everything that pretty much ever comes out (sex tapes) and allows him to be the go to guy in the press.
And, obviously people care - millions of people are talking about this sex tape already. And we're here talking about it now. Just search Google for "tupac sex tape" or variations thereof. It's everywhere already and the story just broke this morning. Tupac was/is still a multi-platinum recording artist who's estate still makes 10's of millions of $'s from his life's work every year. Whether YOU believe it's relevant or not doesn't matter ... people obviously do.

I get the publicity angle, but not the lack of credit. I'd want some credit. For all we know, someone else leaked it to TMZ.

He gets the credit he seeks ... whether it's notoriety from an "inner circle", press or $$$ ... trust me.
